Line 2: [[File:Trekkie013_lg.jpg\|frame\|[[The Internet Is for Porn\|Why you think the 'net was born?]]]] Multiple-Tony Award-winning musical about a group of friends trying to live out their dreams, despite such mundane obstacles as trying to hold a job. ~~The~~'''Avenue ~~show~~Q''' is loosely based on and inspired by ''[[Sesame Street]]'', though it handles adult themes such as sex, drinking and pornography. Much of the humor is crude and the language is quite foul, and there is one on-stage depiction of puppet sex, so despite appearing to be a children's show, it is very definitely for mature audiences. '''The main characters of the show are:''' Line 101: * [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: The Bad Idea Bears, although as the name suggests they're both Bad Angels. * [[Good Feels Good]]: The central message of "The Money Song". * [[Harsh Life Revelation Aesop]]: Iis ''all about'' harsh life revelations: "It Sucks To Be Me": Everyone has problems. Comparing them will only make you feel worse. When the cast argues whose life sucks the most, they each say theirs is the worst, until Gary Coleman comes onstage and they agree he "wins" due to his parents stealing all his money as a [[Former Child Star]]. "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|Everyone Is A Little Bit Racist]]": Every person and monster has preconceived biases and will express them at the worst time. Some may be innocent, like Brian calling his Japanese wife "Oriental" while defending her broken English. ** "Schadenfreude": Everyone will laugh at others' miseries. A homeless Nicky protests this when Gary Coleman is mocking him, only to acknowledge that he also does the same thing. * [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: "My Girlfriend, Who Lives in Canada". ** Also, "If You Were Gay". "Because you see, if it were me, I would feel free to say that I am gay [[Not That There's Anything Wrong with That\|(but I'm not gay)]]."
